FASHION NOTES.

The sang de bout in undressed kid is the
reigning fashion IN gloves. Many of them
have the stripes between the fingers oil
white. This shade of red goes as well with
most colors as does tan.
A pretty idea for bracelets comes from
Paris. Six narrow single bangles are worn
together-on the arm, every alternate BAN
gle being closely set with small pearls,
those between being set with tiny tur-
quoises. The effect is extremely pretty.
Among the new stones to be worn this
winter are sapphirrines, which are lovely
shades of translucent bluish-green. They
are not costly, and are set for bracelets in
very light rings Of gold. They. with the
Mexican moonstones, are being made up
into all the newest ornaments.
Plaid velvets are to be much worn as
combinations with silk or cashmere One
pretty gown is of steel-blue cashmere, the
waist being laid in fine plaits down the
front, and jacket fronts of plaid velvet,
in which the predominating tint is blue,
fastened at the throat and haring outward
over the hips. The high color and deep
cuffs are of the velvet
Young ladies will wear white flannel all
through the winter for home dresses in
plated skirts and jackets with silk feather
stitching ornamenting the cuffs, collars,
reyers and hens, and with many loops and
cascades of narrow white moire ribbon.
Tucking is very popular on these white
flannel gowns, and should be done entirely
by hand, as the Misunderstanding is too
light, and makes the line of stitching
"pull"
Spider-web designs are seen on the new
winter cloths for cloaks, also rough
Astrakhan stripes, sunken oval and snail
shaped figures and odd hieroglyphics in
lighter shades than that of the surface of
the cloth. The long cloaks are made as
raglans that is, with tight-itting back,
loose fronts and square sleeves, or else like
the Irish peasant cloaks, gathered to a
collar or yoke, and falling straight to the
ground, without sleeves.
For short cloaks black jackets will be
worn with any colored costume, and the
covert coat will be seen no more Little
plush wraps will be the favorite for wear
with visiting toilets, and black plush will
be preferred to brown. Those made up to
match with costumes will be of Havana or
dead-leaf brown rather than seal. The red
plush wraps will be darker than those
worn last year, and will be rivalled by
wraps of emerald green heavily trimmed
with lace and jet passementeries. All the
plush wraps are small.

Espe oially the Political virtues.

The wonderful developments in iron-ore
mining around Lake Superior have re-
Gently been the subject of much comment,
but it is found on examination that no
State or Territory west of the Mississippi
is without iron. California has superior
ores. The iron Of Oregon is equal to the
very best European metal Several Terri
tories have enormous supplies, and iron
ores are to-day mined in twenty-one of our
United States. Every county in Missouri
has iron ore, and Iron Mountain and Pilot
Knob have, it is estimated, over 500, 100000
tons of excellent ore. Texas has great
masses, and the Alabama supply is being
developed at Birmingham-exce iron
for some uses, especially for castings The
iron ores of Wisconsin and Michigan
(Gogebic range, and of Minnesota (Ver-
million range, are of not only such quaint
ty as to surprise one, but of the best quality
for steel making. Last year over 5000, 900
tons were mined and shipped to points
on Lake Erie, an enormous product
ion. The first six months of 1887
show an increase, and already $780, 900
tons have been shipped. But what a
State is Michigan with her salt, copper
and iron And what country we have
altogether! One section of it that was I'M
touched in 1880 is now producing 1000, 900
tons of iron annually, and another section,
Montana, scarcely known in 1880, is pro-
ducing S0,0OO,0OO pounds of copper now in
a year. Another Idaho has mountain
of sulphur, and another (Wyoming) has
vast areas of petroleum within Its borders.
California has sent over S1,000,000,000 of
gold to the United States mint, and is also
a veritable garden spot America finds
iron tonic. In her iron ores she can fur
nish food, clothing, shelter and resources
for any possible millions of population.
And with the rapid extension of science
america, by the way, took away the five
gold medals at the last Paris electrical ex-
position-took the whole fve) beyond the
present limits of imaginable experience
who can but feel the great responsibility
for developing not only these material re-
sources, but also those moral and political
virtues that alone make blessing OF
wealth to the common well-being ?-Bos-

Foreign Wheat Supplies.

Americans who do not understand why
wheat is so cheap, though the crop here
is comparatively small, certainly 81 ,000-
900 bushels less than that of last year,
may find an answer in the statistics Of the
International Corn Market at Vienna, re-
ceived by the last mail from Europe.
These reports have been prepared for
many years with the greatest care, and in
commercial circles abroad are trusted even
more than official statements They show
that the yield in 1887 has been remark
ably large, and says the London Economist
Vienna correspondent: But for the de
cline in the production of the United
States and India prices would probably
have fallen very heavily. Even under ex-
listing conditions prices remained low
and trade the first day was slow"
The yield in Austria is reported at II
per cent. above the average and in Hun
gary 20 per cent 1t is estimated that
Austro-Hungary will have 33,000,000
bushels to export. In Bavaria the crop is
about 20 per cent. above the average; in
Great Britain and Ireland, 20 per cent.
in Servia, 40 per cent; in Little Wal
lachia, % per cent; in Central Russia,
Is per cent. in Cherson, 20 per cent.
other Russian districts ranging from 90 to
| 100, reckoning 100 as the average The
yield in Switzerland is rated as 10, in
France LOG, in Holland 102, in Denmark
! and Sweden 100 and in Italy 80. The
wheat crop in India is reported as $780,
| 600 tons, against 7,739,000 last year, but
exports from that country depend largely
on rates made BY railroads and dealers.
This country has prnbably ahOlt All :
100000 bushels, estimating from the last
report of the Bureau, beside about AS
100000 carried over from last year. The
quantity exported in July of wheat and

of wheat and exports in August were also
large, but decline has been observed as

Where my feet snce delighted to stray;
But memory brings fragrance that clings
To its flowers more sweetly each day.

And Oft from the days of the present,
Whether joyful or sad they may be,
Ny footsteps will stray mid the scenes of a day
That shall come never more unto me
For the years with their shadow or sunshine,
Filled with quiet or deep-stirring strife;
With darkest despair or blessings so rare
Make the warp and the wool of our life.
But perhaps in the glorious hereafter,
Where we'll walk with unwearying feet;
Defeats crushing means and victory's proud

Shall melt into symphonies sweet.

COST OF FENCING FARM LANDs.-Pro-
fessor Scott, in his recent work on Farm
Fences" estimates that for every acre of in
closed land in the United Kingdom there
is over 81 invested in fences and that the
annual maintenance of these fences costs
something like IS. per acre. Taking these
figures in the aggregate, as applied to the
4500o,000 acres of inclosed land in the
United Kingdom, he shows the total capt.
tai sunk in fences to be nearly S50,0G0,000,
and the annual maintenance and re pair of
these fences to cost at least G6,750,00O.
There is no denying, he thinks, that many
existing fences might be dispensed with to
the great advantage of agriculture quite
apart from the expense of maintaining
them. He also points out that the ex-
tended introduction Of cheap and durable
system of wire-fencing renders possible still
further economy in the matter of fences,
referring more especially to barb-wire
fences, in which fewer lines of wire make
an equally efficient fence, and that with
only one-half to one-fourth the number of
posts which it is considered necessary to
use in plain wire fencing or in post and
rail fences.-London Times.

A special dispatch from Salisbury, Md,
says: An amusing scene occurred at the
Maryland Steamboat Company's wharf
here to-day. About fourteen months ago.
Mrs. CordeEa Geare, of 1920 Light street,
street. Baltimore, advertised in the Heart
and Hand, published at Chicago, for a hus-
band. George W. Fooks, gentleman liv-
ing near Salisbury, saw the advertisement
and answered it, and from that time cor
respondence has been kept up, resulting
finally in an engagement to marry. The
marriage was arranged to take place in
Salisbury. A short while ago Mrs Geare
wrote to Mr.. Fooks that she might be ex-
pected here to-day. She was taken sick
in the meantime, and informed her affi-
anced that she could not come To-day.
however, she arrived here on the steamer
Pratt. Mr.. Fooks was not at the wharf to
meet her. She was interviewed by several
parties, and after it was learned in what diff
ticulty she found herself courier was dis
patched for Mr.. Fooks, who soon arrived in
his matrimonial garb. BY this time over
hundred people were on the wharf, and
every body who knew the would-be groom
congratulated him and received hearty
thanks in return. In the saloon the lovers
met for the first time. After short talk
Mrs. Geare said that there were so many
people on the wharf who acted so much
like heathens that she would not live in
Salisbury for any consideration, but if Mr.
Fooks would go to Baltimore and live she
would marry him. Mr.: Fooks then came
out and announced to his friends that the
marriage was off for the present. Mrs.
Geare returned to Baltimore on the boat.
She is about So years old and widow.
Mr.. Fooks is about As years old and a
widower"

FAvoRITE BosToNIAN DESERTS
Bostonians are fond of odd novelties of the
table. A favorite dessert OF theirs is to
hollow out block of ice and place within
cubes of muskmelon. 1t is cut up in the
morning, placed in the ice, covered with a
block of ice and served at o'clock dinner.
Over this frozen melon is sprinkled sherry
and powdered sugar. Brown bread ice
cream is favorite Boston dish The
brown bread is permitted to become stale /;
it is then grated into the usual ingredients
for ice-cream and is delicious. Huckle-
berry ice-cream is also appetizing and
looks pretty. 1t makes an ice-cream almost
as black, and is novelty. Huckleberry
griddle cakes for breakfast and fried sliced
bananas are favorite dishes with the
wealthy Bostonians, as are also stewed red
currants. Almost all fresh fruits are
cooked as breakfast dishes, and stewed
cucumbers never prove injurious, while
they are an attractive dish. There is also
at hand to sip all day an ice pitcher filled
with cream-of-tartar water sweetened. This
not only cools the blood, but is wonder
full nervine, as the French know, who in
variably sip sweetened water-Boston cor

A CHINESE INDUsTRY-Rev. B. C.
Henry states that the fan palm of China
grows only in the San III district, some
twenty miles long by ten miles wide The
trees do not yield leaves suitable for fans
until six years old. Some trees are said to
be over 100 years old, but the tallest
measure only about twelve feet. From
April to November the leaves are cut
monthly, from one to three being taken
from each plant. From 10000 to 10000
people are employed.

been but few such winters as the present
since they settled in this country, but there
was one much worse about 30 years ago

Pease Bottom, and the Indians that were
c~ongregated about the old trading posts
they were snow bound for two moons. The

countless ponies, of which thousands were
smo.hered in the drifts that winter.-Bn-
